Year 2, Day 46: 13 December 2013

The roofing kettle chugs away, with a bright little fire in its belly, sending a stinky flow of tar up to the top of the substation; in a few of these pictures you can see the steam rising from the hot tar on the roof. The weather today is in the upper 20s--downright balmy when compared to the past few days, but the crew is working hard to get the roof completed before the next round of snow begins tonight.
